Cancelled reservation
July 10, 2025

They had to cancel my reservation due to the wrong fare. I don't understand why is it even advertised when at the end it is the wrong fare anyway. I was advised to book on the airlines instead rather than with them.

It was R4568 when I started booking, when i made the payment, R5071 was deducted from my account, this was said to have something to do with the bank, I still did understand that. Secondly, the agent i spoke to tells me the fare for the connecting flight changed and so i had to pay 40USD more as the economy class was full and my nephew would be moved to the other class. Shouldnt that show as one is making the booking though? When i called back to make the payment, the new agent tells me the amount had gone up from $40 to $60? I will put this on Hello Peter, never received a service like this before, NEVER!
